The Gophers announced today that they will host the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay on Sunday, November 5 at noon in an exhibition game. The team’s second exhibition game was added to the schedule last minute and will be held in Maturi Pavilion with 100 percent of the proceeds to benefit the American Red Cross hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico.
Given that the Gophers have played in Puerto Rico in recent seasons, they have a special connection to the island.
"In my four years here we have played in Puerto Rico twice and have had an unbelievable experience both times," said head coach Richard Pitino.
